Space based Solar Power Systems by mankind.space

Mankind's plan is to replace all CO2 emitting power stations on Earth, one by one via a dedicated space based solar power station. We work with governments to enable them to go faster, earlier and cleaner pushing away devastating emission technologies. Enabling mankind to live a fulfilling and growth oriented existence. 

Earth CO2 at 400 Parts per Million has not been at this level for over 800,000 years. Our children will never walk on the same beaches we used to walk. We have to act now and we do have to act immediately.

The World and its nation states have set out an ambitious national clean energy policy – Net Zero - to fully decarbonise the economy by 2050. Our future energy scenario envisages clean and sustainable energy generation from renewable sources for homes and industry.

This energy generation must at the same time remain affordable, reliable and secure if our economy is to thrive.

The Committee on Climate Change, The Paris Agreement has set out pathways towards Net Zero, but there is recognition that the goal is challenging. The dominant renewable energy sources, solar and wind, have seen significant technological advancements and falling costs, but their intermittency and substantial land usage pose serious problems.

Nuclear fission and fusion are evolving but for different reasons their futures are uncertain.
 

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is not yet a mature technology. Hydrogen is an important part of the decarbonisation, notably for the industrial steal & cement production and sectors, but affordable “green” CO2 neutral electricity is required for its production.

To achieve Net Zero, we must develop new renewable energy generation technologies that deliver continuous base load clean power, as part of a balanced energy mix.

Space Based Solar Power by mankind.space is the industrialisation of harvesting solar energy in space, and beaming it to earth, thereby overcoming the Tropospheric filters (72% reduced energy delivery on earth) and the intermittency of terrestrial renewable energy. (day and night) / (Summer & Winter) cycles.
 

The benefits mankind.space is offering include clean, continuous base-load energy, with much lower land usage than conventional renewables and the lowest maintenance and cost per Joules. mankind could provide a substantial percentage of the Worlds electric energy needs in the future, as part of a mix of energy technologies.
 

mankind.Space Power Satellite designs are well advanced as presented on the website. Several nations and Governments have confirmed since 1979 the engineering feasibility of the concept through several independent studies in the past 30 years.

A societal mankind saving ‘Moonshot’ is now needed to help deliver on Net Zero.

In order to accelerate development of Space Based Solar Power for mankind, the Space Bases Solar Power Initiative (SpaceBasedSolarPowerInitiative) has been established, bringing together research capabilities, legal partners and commercial partners, in energy, space, materials, and manufacturing.
 

Mankind will commission research and development, form collaborative partnerships,

and support the international development of regulations.
 

It will encourage investment into mankind, create high value jobs, and pave the route for

a substantial proportion of our clean energy needs being delivered from space by 2030.
